I am speaking REALLY slowly in this so I recommend speeding it up. XD Review of Endo's fantastic and thought-provoking novel of Jesuit missionaries in Japan in the 17th century.

NOTE: I didn't say in the video (and shame on me) but the translation by William Johnston is beautiful. I can't attest to its accuracy but it reads very much like all the other Endo I've read so he's spot on in that sense.
